Missing -lc for compilation on AIX (R 1.1.0) (PR#571)

Hi,

  Kudos to all who've worked on getting 1.1 out.  It installs cleanly on
  Linux and Sun.  But AIX, of course, is a problem...

  When linking shared libs, the symbols from libc.a are not found.  I
  apologize for not investigating this further at the moment - they
  may not be properly or not all exported from R.bin.

  Fix: I've added ' -lc' to SHLIBLDFLAGS in Makeconf and etc/Makeconf in
  my build directory after running configure.  Then compilation proceeds
  without problems.
  (Alternatively, you could use cc instead of ld to link.)

  Regards,
  -tom
 

P.S. Any reason the status field is empty?  It is stable, right? ;-)

Yes.  I definitely want to switch back to using the C compiler rather
than ld for linking.  Give us a few days ...
